The blossoms of a weeping cherry in our front yard would wait for the beginning of May to open. Among the photos I have of my mother, one of my favorites was taken in front of that tree. She spent her last two years living with us. Even after ten years, it’s easy to see the content in her eyes on Mother’s Day.

I like how it seemed the cherry trees deliberately waiting until Mother’s Day to bloom. Lovely memories.

Thank you, Merril.
I figured it was the Buffalo weather that held the tree back, but it worked perfectly for Mother’s Day.
